Running Dbt Commands

This handles the messy reality of running dbt commands: picking the right CLI flavor (Core, Fusion, or Cloud), formatting selectors with graph operators, and structuring parameters so they actually work. It defaults to `dbt build` over `dbt run` because testing alongside execution catches issues immediately, always uses `--select` to avoid accidentally running your entire project, and includes `--quiet` with error options to reduce noise while catching selector typos. The Quick Reference section is legitimately useful if you forget the syntax for inline queries or how to pass variables as JSON strings. Built by dbt Labs, so the opinions here (like always using selectors, always building instead of just running) reflect how the tool is meant to be used in practice.
